LEGLSLATTVE NOTES.

Owing to the large amount of busi- ness before the general assembly yet to be disposed of, it is hardly possible for the session to be closed before May 1st This does not imply any inability of the members to hasten matters, but is on account of an unusually large amount of business and so many important bills.
 The senate adopted appropriate reso- lutions on the death of Henry Ward Beecher, and the clerk was directed to send copy of the same to the Beecher family.
 The following bills have passed the sen- ate, viz: The house bill prohibiting druggists from selling liquor more than once on the same prescription. The bill making it necessary for savings bank treasurers to renew their bonds once in six years. The act providing for another judge when a justice of the peace reaches the age of seventy years during the trial of 8 case. Also the electric company bill forbidding the starting of opposition electric light companies unless special charter be obtained.
 The senate bill forbidding the sale of Intoxicating liquors near fair grounds was favorsbly reported by the com mittee, as was also the act prohibiting life insurance committees from discrimi- nating against any persons on account of their color.
 The taxation of bonds, and the im- proved methods of heating and lighting railroad trains are matters of special importance before the committees, and are questions in which every person is interested.
 Senator Lucas, chairman of the finance committee, slipped on the ice as his home in West Goshen on Satur- day, March 12, and in consequence was unable to walk. Previous to this he had been present at every session of the senate, and last year he was present at every session of the house, of which he was member.
 The house committee reported adver. sely on bill giving women the privilege of voting at town meetings on temper ance questions, but rendered favorable report on bill permitting women to vote ct school meetings. Negative report WAS made by the judiciary committee on bill requiring the entire board ol selectmen to sign town orders, and OF bill compelling witnesses on criminal cases to attend court in adjoining states.
 The bill advocated by MT Shumway providing punishment for blackmai was passed. It provides punishment for the attempt to extort money by { written or printed communication accu sing . person of crime or by threats O personal injury by imprisonment fo not more than ten years, or fine O not more than $5.OO0.

GERS unwilling to sell, the price has
advanced to 10,30c. for spot and l0,4Oc,
